Just announced on a SoCal radio sports show. They said that Andretti and teammate Dario Judd will race in the IRL and Honda will pay the team $15million. They said that this info is coming from the Indianapolis star, but I don't see anything on their website. None of this suprisises me, but I didn't think it would leak out this soon.

Back to the topic...
Do you think this will be widely covered by the Media at the CART race this weekend??
I would think that it would take away from the good press CART is geting this weekend."IRL" ... what IS that anyway?

Smart move for HONDA
an instant quality team and good drivers but a
1.1 reflection on network tv ratings
not very gratifying taking in more stranded road racers who don't really want to be here
Let's welcome them politely when it's official!

To Carl in the Desert......If Honda is paying that much just to lure to the IRL, try to imagine what they will spend in advertising it. With an intention to MAKE money, I am positive they'll kick it up a notch.
With Toyota and Honda on board, IRL marketing will be like an attack on pearl harbour but this will be for good, not evil. These guys have drug the CART corpse around for a couple of years now, they still do.... Imagnine what they will do with INDY and the IRL?Get your head out of your past!!!

I hope you're right
I don't know if my sensorium can handle "main-line marketing" of our series.
If they do I hope our leaders diversify and don't just lay back to let Honda & Toyota be the sum total of growing the series.Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati
